Due to Tang Yuanshan's desperate accusations and the numerous inconsistencies in Jiang Nan Fang's statement, the staff found the matter to be more complicated than it seemed and had no choice but to take her back to the station for further questioning.
Jiang Nan Fang was not afraid of going to the station, but she couldn't stop worrying about her child. Before she left, Zhan Bei Jue looked at her with firm resolve. "Don't worry, I will personally investigate this matter and clear your name as soon as possible. The children are with A Cheng, so you don't have to worry. Take care of yourself."
The media was waiting at the hospital entrance. Jiang Nan Fang, in handcuffs, got into the car with the staff, and every moment was captured remotely. In less than an hour, this unknown woman, due to Zhan Bei Jue, was splashed across the front pages of major media outlets.

Gong Bei Bei, with a satisfied smile, arrived at the Zhan family's residence with her phone to find Mrs. Zhan. Having recently gone through a breakup, she couldn't bring herself to appear gleeful. She wore a simple black dress, without makeup, her expression one of concern.
Mrs. Zhan had been searching for Jiang Nan Fang and Zhan Bei Jue's whereabouts for the past few days. However, Zhan Bei Jue had given strict instructions that, except for the company, none of his subordinates – including A Cheng, A Biao, and A Zhong – were to reveal his location. Not even his own mother could find him. Recently, he had been making her so angry that her head throbbed. She had been receiving a massage when she heard Gong Bei Bei had arrived. Mrs. Zhan dismissed the masseuse and slowly opened her eyes.
Gong Bei Bei immediately rushed to her side, almost in tears. "Aunt Zhou, what's going on? How did Ah Jue get involved in something like this in just a few days?" "I just saw my phone, and the news is full of reports about him. Why did he go to the hospital? What happened to cause a death?" "What exactly is going on? Why didn't you tell me anything?"
Mrs. Zhan was sulking, waiting for Zhan Bei Jue to remember her, his "useless" mother, and return to see her. But as it turned out... "What do you mean? Bei Bei, what are you talking about? What about a death? What happened to Ah Jue?" "You don't know either? Hasn't Ah Jue been back recently?" Gong Bei Bei opened the news on her phone and showed it to her. "Then Aunt Zhou, you'd better prepare yourself psychologically." "Prepare for what? Can it make me die of anger?" Mrs. Zhan eagerly snatched the phone. "Even if Ah Jue is messy when it comes to women, he wouldn't do anything to disgrace the Zhan family, nor would he break the law..." Her words trailed off as she saw the overwhelming photos on the phone and couldn't continue.
In the photos, Zhan Bei Jue was at the hospital, with hurried medical staff and a glaring police cordon behind him. His expression was grim as he looked somewhere, his hands tightly holding someone. Although she hadn't seen Jiang Nan Fang in nearly ten years, Mrs. Zhan recognized her from the photos – those sly eyes, that searching gaze – at a single glance! She was in handcuffs? How dare she break the law now? Knowing what she had done, Zhan Bei Jue not only didn't avoid suspicion but openly protected her! This scoundrel is trying to anger me to death!
As she scrolled further, becoming angrier, Mrs. Zhan's chest grew tighter with each speculative deduction by the reporter. Finally, seeing Jiang Nan Fang's breathing falter, she dropped the phone to the ground. "Aunt Zhou! Aunt Zhou? Aunt Zhou, what's wrong?" "Don't scare me! What's wrong with you? Someone, come quickly! Call 120, the Madam is having an episode!"
A Zhong, using the clues he had gathered, brought Zhan Bei Jue to meet with his informant. The car stopped by the roadside, Zhan Bei Jue sat inside, and the informant stood opposite him. "Tell me. What is your relationship with Tang Xue Ying, when did you see her, and in what state did you see her?" "Tell me everything you know, from head to toe."
The informant said, "I have no relationship with Tang Xue Ying. I'm from the same village as her grandmother and met her a few times when we were kids." "Assistant Zhong came to our detective agency to find someone, and I happened to have heard her name, so I took this job." "But I haven't been back to the village in many years. My parents divorced when I was nine, and I moved to the city with my mother." "Since taking this job, I've been inquiring and circulating in the village. But most of the young people have left, and only some elderly people who are alone and don't often go out remain. They don't know her whereabouts."
Zhan Bei Jue interrupted him, "Tang Yuanshan said she had an accident and hit her head six years ago. Did no one in the village know about such a big event?" The informant shook his head, "No one knows. Not even Tang Xue Ying's grandmother." "Oh?" "Perhaps the younger generation, out of filial piety, didn't want to stimulate her, so they kept it a secret," A Zhong interjected. "Then why did she go back that night? Given Tang Xue Ying's condition, she couldn't have gone back without someone helping her. Was she unconscious when you saw her?"
At this crucial point, the informant looked somewhat embarrassed. Seeing his expression, it was clear something was amiss. Zhan Bei Jue looked at him coldly. "What? Is it that hard to say? Are you trying to lie to me, thinking that you didn't actually see anyone that day?" The informant's legs trembled with fear, almost making him fall to his knees. "No, no! Mr. Zhan, I know your reputation, and I know what the consequences would be for lying to you, so how could I dare to lie to you?" A Zhong said, "Then why aren't you speaking clearly? What are you hesitating for?" "..." The informant looked at him pitifully, then at the ground. "Actually, actually..." A Zhong made a move as if to kick him. "Are you going to talk or not! Damn it! It's because I trusted you that I was set up when I went out that night! And now you're being evasive?"
The informant quickly said, "I'll talk, I'll talk! Brother Zhong, please don't be angry. Actually, that night, my father called me." "?!" "My father has been staying in the village all these years because he's lazy and unproductive." "When I went back to inquire, I didn't get any information, so I told him to keep an eye on the Tang family for me. If he saw Tang Xue Ying or heard her name, he was to call me immediately." "But I swear! My father said he really heard the Tang family's grandmother call Tang Xue Ying's name that day! And she was very excited! That's why I called you!"
So, the so-called clue was merely hearsay and conjecture. After the informant left, A Zhong felt utterly ashamed. The two sat in silence in the car. After a moment, Zhan Bei Jue kicked his seat. "Aren't you going to drive? What are you standing around for?" "Mr. Zhan..." A Zhong slowly turned his head, his eyes fixed on the ground. "I am incompetent. I handled the Tang Xue Ying matter too poorly and feel I have no face to continue serving under you..." "You know that. I've almost lost my mind preparing for the proposal with your grand-aunt's girlfriend lately." Zhan Bei Jue looked at him coldly. "You made a mistake and now you want to walk away? That's useless." "Make up for the mistakes you've made before you say anything else."
